World famous since it opened in September of 1914 the Davenport H=
otel (named for Louis Davenport) was the first hotel to offer air condition=
ing and of course, the well-known delight, Crab Louis. Walking the halls yo=
u can hear the whispers of the great men and women who walked there before =
you; royalty, stars of stage and screen, and just about every American pres=
ident of the 20th century.

Closed in 1985, the hotel remained closed until 2000 when local e=
ntrepreneurs Walt & Karen Worthy purchased the entire city block and th=
en spent the next two years to make the Davenport Hotel grand again. The ho=
tel's public spaces and ballrooms were restored to what they would have loo=
ked like when they were new.
